Party Season Jackets

Party Season Jackets

It's this time of year that the party flood gates open and every where you turn there appears to be an excuse to get dressed up and get a glass of champagne in your hand. Whether it's galas, work parties, or just long over due dinners with friends, the last two months of the year mark a period during which one can let some steam off, have fun, and worry about whatever else when January 1st swings around.

Party style is one of our areas of expertise at Favourbrook, and frankly we love it because it allows us to combine the elegance and heritage of men's eveningwear with a joyous festive spirit. Some party occasions may of course require you to wear black tie, but others are much less formal, such as a beautiful dinner with friends in one of London's chicest restaurants. As such, there are a wide variety of style permutations in the genre of partywear, but they all have one thing in common - a cracking jacket or blazer. This is always the centrepiece of the look, driving the colour and texture of the complete ensemble. We've selected a variety of styles below that should definitely by in your consideration this season.


 

The Classic Dinner Jacket
A staple of eveningwear, the classic dinner jacket is an elegant choice for formal events and holiday gatherings alike. Its clean, structured silhouette and timeless appeal make it a versatile piece that pairs effortlessly with a classic tuxedo shirt and bow tie. Our dinner jackets come with silk grosgrain lapels for a very sophisticated finish and come in a variety of lapel styles. This jacket is ideal for those who appreciate refined simplicity and want an investment piece that will never go out of style.

The Velvet Single-Breasted Dinner Jacket
Exuding a festive richness, the velvet single-breasted dinner jacket is an ideal choice for party season. Velvet’s plush texture provides a welcome touch of luxury, while the single-breasted cut retains a sleek, streamlined look. Pair this with a crisp white shirt, silk bow tie, and black trousers for a refined yet warm aesthetic that’s perfect for the winter months. Available in rich hues such as olive, burgundy, sapphire blue and navy, it also works well worn with a more casual pair of trousers (even smart tapered jeans) and an open collar shirt without neck furniture for a more bohemian approach.


The Velvet Double-Breasted Dinner Jacket
For those seeking a bold statement piece, the velvet double-breasted dinner jacket offers a more dramatic silhouette. The double-breasted style is inherently formal and looks exceptional when worn with black tailored trousers, dress shirt, and bow tie. Velvet enhances the jacket’s luxurious appeal, adding depth and softness to its structured cut. As an alternative to the traditional black tuxedo, it exudes confidence and class.

The Silk Dinner Jacket
Nothing says opulence quite like a silk dinner jacket. The natural sheen of silk lends itself beautifully to evening events, catching the light with an effortless elegance that’s perfect for festive occasions. A silk dinner jacket, particularly in our vibrant patterns, is striking when worn with tailored trousers, a silk pocket square, and understated cufflinks. This choice is ideal for those who appreciate the finest materials and want to stand out with an air of timeless luxury.

The Corduroy Blazer
For a refined yet slightly less formal look, the corduroy blazer brings a distinct texture that is both warm and sophisticated. Corduroy’s tactile quality makes it an excellent option for winter gatherings, providing a modern alternative to more traditional party jackets. Pair this blazer with a crisp shirt and knitted tie for a smart-casual approach or dress it up with a silk pocket square and tailored trousers for a more elevated look. Corduroy blazers in deep, rich tones like olive, navy, and burgundy are particularly well-suited to festive settings.

The Nehru Jacket
For a touch of understated elegance, the Nehru jacket is an inspired choice. Characterized by its unique collar and minimalist design, the Nehru jacket has a refined silhouette that stands out without overtly traditional styling. This jacket pairs beautifully with slim trousers and an open-collared shirt, offering a sophisticated yet contemporary look for the party season. It’s ideal for those seeking a tailored piece that breaks away from convention while still delivering on style and class.

The Single-Breasted Velvet Smoking Jacket
A single-breasted velvet smoking jacket brings a classic vintage flair to holiday attire. Its relaxed yet luxurious aesthetic makes it perfect for hosting or attending a more relaxed gathering. Traditionally paired with silk-lapel detailing, this jacket works well with tailored trousers and a silk scarf for an air of 1920s-inspired sophistication. Rich shades enhance the festive feel, making it an impeccable choice for the holiday season.

The Double-Breasted Velvet Smoking Jacket
For those looking to make a powerful statement, the double-breasted velvet smoking jacket combines timeless elegance with bold style. Velvet’s depth and the jacket’s structured cut offer a striking combination, perfect for grander affairs. The double-breasted design lends itself to a distinctly formal silhouette, ideal for those who wish to capture a vintage-inspired look with contemporary polish.
